Freddy and Francine to
return to Sisters stage
By Ceili Cornelius
Correspondent
Freddy and Francine,
(actual names Bianca Caruso
and Lee Ferris) will be return-
ing to Sisters as the third and
final installment of the free
Summer Concert Series on
August 21, at 6:30 p.m.
Freddy and Francine were
featured at the 2018 Sisters
Folk Festival and were very
well received by the Sisters
crowd.
Now, after a long leg of
touring around the nation,
they are returning to the
Sisters stage.
Freddy and Francine as a
band name came about when
Caruso and Ferris were just
starting out playing clubs and
small venues. Ten years ago,
they did a co-write of a song
called <Over and Over,= and
they loved the song that they
had written and decided to
make a band out of the two
of them. They performed the
song for the first time at a
Jewish Chinese restaurant in
L.A. called Genghis Cohen.
They asked the audience to

Sisters enjoyed good
times at country fair
By Jodi Schneider
Correspondent
E v e r y s u m m e r t h e
Episcopal Church of the
Transfiguration hosts its tra-
ditional small-town country
fair, and last weekend marked
its 24th year. People come
from all around the region for
some good old-fashioned fun.
The lines at the Sweet
Tooth booth started early
as folks waited, despite
the chilly overcast August
morning, for their piece of
Marionberry cobbler with or
without vanilla ice cream.
Sisters-Camp Sherman
Fire Department had their big
red fire trucks on display to
educate the community about
fire safety.
<We9ve been coming here
to the Country Fair over the
years,= said Jeff Liming,
volunteer captain and coor-
dinator. <It9s a good learning
experience and the kids get
their own plastic fire hat.=
Jack Wales, a new vol-
unteer to the firefighter pro-
gram, was touring three-
year-old Oliver around the
wildland truck, engine, and
ambulance.

Area landscapes on display at library
By Helen Schmidling
Correspondent
Landscape photographs by
former Sisters resident Kirk
Arton Hoover are on display
in the Computer Room of
Sisters Library until Aug. 21.
Hoover picked up his first
film camera around 1975, but
he9s been taking photography
a little more seriously for the
past 15 years.
<I think it was when digi-
tal cameras started to get
better. This was what was in
my heart 3 I captured exactly
what I saw, and as cameras
got better, the images got bet-
ter,= he said.
He currently shoots with a
Nikon d7200, for both land-
scapes and portraits.
<Landscape has been my
passion, but when I shifted
my focus to doing portraiture
and events, I found that peo-
ple would actually pay me for
what I do,= he said. <Family
weddings, events, concerts &
give you a chance to interact
with more people.
<Starting with family pic-
tures, graduations, weddings,
and reunions 3 you may be
with a family for 15 years
through all kinds of events,=
Hoover said. <It9s affirming.=
Depending on his clients9
needs, he may shoot with
studio lighting, or take out-
door photos 3 back to land-
scape photography, but with
human subjects.
<I love preserving family
memories, and I love it when
people want to take a piece
of Central Oregon home with
them to share with family and
friends,= he said.
Hoover also works with
Cascade Theatrical Company,
shooting portraits for their
programs, ads, and lobby
promotions.
Hoover grew up in
Southern California, around
Los Angeles, and moved
